The New Orleans Police Department is asking for help locating a teenager who went missing after a Mardis Gras Parade Sunday (Feb. 23). Norman Benjamin, 13, is described as 5-foot, 6-inches and weighing 130 pounds.

Benjamin was part of a marching band, and was observed by his mother prior to his disappearance, police said. According to police, it is unclear whether he is still wearing his marching band uniform.

Benjamin has spoken to his mother since his disappearance, and this is not the first time he has run away, police said.

Anyone with information on Benjamin's whereabouts is asked to contact the NOPD at 504.821.2222 or a detective of the 4th District at 504.658.6040.
